Shaking Off the Desert Dust






We have shaken, swept and washed the ever-present dust from ourselves and the Bighorn in preparation for leaving the desert behind right after the busy Easter weekend. We have had a wonderful experience, made some great new friends, and, hopefully, helped lots of visitors enjoy their stay in the Park! Joshua Tree Nat'l Park will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Al had the use of a government vehicle while we were in the Park, and he become quite impressed with it. We're downsizing! If the Federal Government can do it, so can we. The GEM comes with a nice glove compartment for storage, its own recharging cord and a compact truck bed. It will mean some sacrifice, but the savings on diesel fuel will make up for any inconvenience! We are proud to do our part for America! Watch out for us on the road!!!
